2nd Monitor Stuttering

[luckeYpublic]

Hi,

So I have a 2 monitor setup, both 1440p (one 60hz, and one 144hz). I just recently built my new setup (specs below) and it was working perfectly. From out of nowhere my games started to lag, but only when I am watching YouTube, or Twitch on my 2nd monitor, and my game is running in FULLSCREEN mode on my main monitor. If I switch the game to borderless window it is better. But this problem also occurs when I am running OBS and trying to record some gameplay (and I didn’t had any problems with it before).
Any ideas what happened?

PC SPECS:
Motherboard: ASUS ROG STRIX Z590-E GAMING WIFI
CPU: Intel® Core™ i9-10900K
GPU: EVGA GeForce RTX 3080 XC3 GAMING
RAM: 32GB 3600MHz DDR4 RAM Kingston HyperX Predator CL17 (2X16GB)
SSD1: 500GB Samsung 980 Pro M.2 SSD
SSD2: 2TB Samsung 970 EVO Plus M.2 SSD
CPU Cooler: Corsair iCUE H115i RGB PRO XT
PSU: Corsair HX1000i

Thank you for trying to help!

Hi,
Yes, sadly the problem is still occurs. I’ll try a full Windows reinstall in a couple of days.

When the issue started, did you add any more peripherals to your pc? Other programs running than what you mentioned?

I haven’t really thought about it, but maybe, just maybe, it started around when I installed my Elgato Game Capture HD60 Pro to a PCIe port. I will uninstall that card tomorrow, just to try. Other than that I don’t remember adding more peripherals.

Update: it has nothing to do with the capture card…

Other (maybe interesting) info: there is no problem when playing Minecraft. Looks like this happens only when I am playing DirectX games? I attached a GPU log info while playing Rocket League.

Is DirectX up to date?
What about the graphics card/s - is this component‘s driver up to date?

have you tried the full reinstall of Windows yet?
while it’ll be the long way around, it will allow you to start from a clean slate, and add one game at a time until you identify the culprit.

Everything is up to date!

I’ll do it in a couple days, I can’t really do it now because of work, but when I do I will let this thread know.

Thank you guys for trying to help!

If you have a lot of files & programs you can always image the drive using Macrium Reflect, then clean install Windows, find the problem game as Bruce says & then restore the image & uninstall the game.
